Hi again, I have basically felt like this since 22/04/2021. I have a Drs call later on today. However I have been tracing my steps back and I now think I know the issue. Last year I was diagnosed with LPR reflux and was prescribed Lansoprazole. That was back in January 2020, I have now found out that Lansoprazole stops Levothyroxine absorbing into the body properly. I feel exactly like I did three years back when I was first put on Levo. So I think I may have to start from scratch. Hopefully my GP can help me

Acid reflux when hypothyroid is frequently linked to being under medicated and still hypothyroid

When hypothyroid we frequently have LOW stomach acid

Virtually identical symptoms to high stomach acid, but very different treatment

You can’t just stop taking a ppi like Lansoprazole

Do you take it as far away from levothyroxine as possible

Low stomach acid can be a common hypothyroid issue
